I think you're mostly being downvoted for your second sentence:

- It's ironically hypocritical in that you're implying mtogo shouldn't tell someone how to comment while simultaneously doing it yourself.

- It's misplaced because mtogo's comment was informative and neutral while yours was opinion-based and snarky.

Aside from those issues, you're a new member weighing in on proper HN etiquette. Does that seem sensible?
